I would like to congratulate Robert P. Kelly on his appointment as Chairman of the Board of the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

Since its founding in 1946, the CHMC has been Canada's best tool for ensuring the confidence and stability of the housing market, while contributing to the growth of the rental and cooperative housing stock.

Mr. Speaker, when he is in the House, the minister does not understand what is going on, and when he leaves the House, he says he will cut something that never even existed.

The proposed changes will not solve the systemic problems with the temporary foreign worker program. At best, these changes will respond to the most recent crisis created by the Conservatives when they relaxed the program rules last year.

Will the minister admit to his mistake and launch an independent investigation into the program?

Ottawa – Conservative tweaks to Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) Program are inadequate and fail to protect Canadian jobs.

“Conservatives created this mess, they can’t be trusted to fix it,” said New Democrat HRSDC critic Chris Charlton. “The bulk of these changes are just reversing problems that the Conservatives created themselves.”

Mr. Speaker, on April 6, the new Rio Tinto Alcan Planetarium opened its doors in my riding. Thanks to its outstanding cutting-edge exhibits that transport us throughout the Milky Way, Montreal will shine brighter than ever before. The Planetarium is part of Space for life, which includes the Insectarium, the Biodôme and the Botanical Garden.

Mr. Speaker,

Under the Conservatives' watch, the Department of Human Resources lost the personal information of more than 600,000 Canadians. In 2007, a data breach affected 28,000 Canadians and was never reported to the Privacy Commissioner. This year, another data breach made half a million Canadians susceptible to identity theft.

Why are the Conservatives so complacent, and when will steps be taken to address their repeated failures?
